I'd like to say that I understand where you're coming from. You want your minister to solve this problem because it's so solvable that it's ridiculous. You don't want her to be called Charlie Brown and you don't want Stephen Harper to be called Charlie Brown, because that brought down the Mulroney government.
This is so easy to solve that it's beyond belief. Why it hasn't happened I don't understand. As recently as Friday, while you're telling me on the one hand you want to solve it, and I believe you do, she received two e-mails--left hand, right hand, doesn't know what's going on. On the left hand she's getting a notice telling her she's going to get a grant of citizenship, which is wonderful, because if she, Denise, gets a grant of citizenship, it means Joe Taylor's going to be a Canadian citizen, and that's what we want.
They're born out of wedlock; Joe is too, and they're getting a grant of citizenship, so they'll have to do it for Joe as well. On the other hand, they're sent another letter telling them they have to wait 15 months--and sorry, we feel bad for you for your driver's licence, but you're going to have to take the kids by taxi while your daughter is in the military.
